"Iya umi when Umi does not recognize her own children anyway! Or umi forgets yes if Umi has a daughter."(joked Rahma because she knows very well why until Umi did not recognize Because during work Rahma never returned to her village,because it saves money and Rahma thinks than for the fare better sent to her sister's school)

"You are now different dear.More contains not skinny rich first .Yes, it's a quick shower after cooking later, then we eat together"(command Umi Safa on Rahma)

Rahma who saw her sister Romi came home, then she approached her.

"Sir, are you home from school? how was the test, didn't it?"(asked Rahma to her sister, because Umi had told her that Romi was in the national exam)

Romi as a younger brother would be surprised to see his brother has come home.Because almost 8 months during the brother's work did not even go home.

"ahh brother..!!!!Brother when to go home?Why hasn't my sister come home to visit Umi and your sister?(?Romi ran and hugged the brother.Because too long.Sort of questions from Romi against the brother made Umi Safa shake her head because it did not give a pause for her sister replied)

"Umi, can Umi let Romi indulge and play with my naughty sister?.Because Romi misses big brother.!(pinta Romi on the Umi and Umi Safa)

"Hmmmmm...All right, Umi's youngest son."((Umi walked to the kitchen to pick up the dishes because she would eat with her two children).

"Sister,!!my sister has not answered my question.!why didn't sister come home to tell Romi the same?And why did you never come home while working there?"(questions from Romi raining down on Rahma)

"Romi dear younger sister sister.!!Hey you are like this !!don't cry, you must be strong man don't cry dong (Rahma saw the sister crying and then wipe her tears)
